Redefinition of the suture zone between the JuggarKazakhstan and Tarim Plates in Eastern Tianshan, Xinjiang, China and its significance

Abstract

Abstract:

Abstract: Under guidance of the theory of plate tectonics, according to geology, geophysical and geochemical exploration, remote sensing data, and comprehensive analysis of research results about the plate tectonics in Eastern Tianshan Orogenic Belt, we redefined the location of suture zone between the JunggarKazakhstan and Tarim Plates, and concluded that the zone among Kangur and Aqqikkudug faults is the suture zone between the JunggarKazakhstan and Tarim Plates in Eastern Tianshan Orogenic Belt. The above suture zone has an independent tectonic unit that possesses its material entity, its special tectonics and structures. It also controls the polymetallic metallogenic belt in Eastern Tianshan. Consequently, the suture zone played an important role in mineralization and spatial distribution of copper, nickel, gold, silver and other polymetallic deposits.

Key words: Key words: Eastern Tianshan; plates suture zone; Kangurtag Fault; Aqqikkudug Fault
